I just joined the party, My Condenser went out at 67,000 miles. What a joy! I am a little late on this thread but I wanted to get some input from the guys that have dealt with this issue already and what seems to be the best route of action. The way I see it I have three options.
1. Call my local dealer, charm them and try and work out the best possible price. - my least favorite route.
2. Buy the Condenser and replace it myself. (would you recommend the AC DELCO or a aftermarket brand)
3. I have a good friend with a welding/Fabrication shop. We possibly will be able to do the nitrogen purge and weld that sucker. I am just not sure how the process goes. < my favorite and cheapest route.
If anyone has the information on how to properly flush the system with nitrogen and weld it. I am all ears, If that cant be done I will explore the other options.
Thanks in advance.
